Definitions

  • This invention relates to bodies formed by sintering together mixtures of two or more particulate materials, and to articles incorporating or formed from such bodies, the invention having particular application to pistons for internal combustion engines, and to the manufacture of such pistons.
  • crown portion of an internal combustion engine piston it is desirable for the crown portion of an internal combustion engine piston to have a high mechanical strength under the temperatures encountered under normal operating conditions.
  • a body formed wholly or in part of aluminium and/or aluminium alloy powder and alumina, which have been compacted and sintered to form a sintered mass is characterised in that the mass includes at least 10% by weight of said alumina which has been added, in powder form, to the aluminium and/or aluminium alloy powder prior to compacting and sintering, and in that the sintered mass has been reshaped under pressure after sintering.
  • the incorporation of at least 10% alumina in powdered form together with the step of reshaping under pressure after sintering results in a body having an unexpectedly high hot strength, and a body formed in this maner is accordingly particularly suitable for forming the crown of an internal combustion engine piston.
  • the particle size of the aluminium or aluminium alloy powder and the alumina powder preferably lies between dust and 125 microns.
  • a body in accordance with the invention may constitute the whole of an article, such as a piston, or only part of an article, for example the crown portion of a piston.
  • the proportions of aluminium and/or aluminium alloy powder and alumina powder may be different for different regions and vary in a controlled manner from one region of the body to an adjacent region.
  • the thickness of a region with or without a controlled graded change may be from about one millimetre to ten centimetres, or greater, depending upon the nature and intended use of the body.
  • a body in accordance with the invention may be formed of a plurality of layers incorporating different proportions of alumina, and bonded together in any convenient manner, for example by sintering. Where there are three or more layers these may be bonded together simultaneously or successively.
  • the reshaping of the body as by forging under heat and pressure in accordance with the invention may take place after all or some of the layers have been bonded together.
  • a body in accordance with the invention forms only part of an article it may, for example, be bonded to another part of the article, where this is of a mainly metallic nature, by friction welding, by sintering under pressure, or in any other suitable manner, after the reshaping of the body.
  • Said other part of the article may be formed of aluminium and/or an aluminium alloy and may also incorporate a proportion of alumina powder.
  • an article may comprise a body in accordance with the invention having a relatively high proportion of alumina forming a first region of the article, an intermediate region having a relatively smaller proportion of alumina and a third region having a smaller or zero proportion of alumina.
  • composition of the intermediate region in such an article may vary in such a case, the region having a relatively high proportion of alumina adjacent the first region and a lower or zero proportion of alumina adjacent the third region.
  • the regions can have the same thickness or different thicknesses depending upon operational requirements.
  • the invention has particular application to pistons for internal combustion engines.
  • a piston has a crown portion formed of controlled proportions of aluminium and/or an aluminium alloy powder and alumina powder which powders have been mixed together, and a skirt portion formed of aluminium and/or an aluminium alloy with a smaller or zero proportion of alumina.
  • the composite piston is compacted and sintered, and the resultant mass is reshaped under pressure after sintering.
  • the crown portion may be compacted, sintered, and shaped under pressure, and then joined to the skirt portion, with or without subsequent reshapping of the entire piston under pressure.
  • the piston may conveniently have an intermediate region in which the proportion of alumina is intermediate that of the crown and the skirt, and may vary from a maximum adjacent the crown to a minimum adjacent the skirt.
  • the proportion of alumina to aluminium and/or aluminium alloy may vary from the skirt to the crown within the range 0 to 50% by weight.
  • the proportion of alumina to aluminium and/or aluminium alloy is from 10% to 50% at the crown, and from 0 to 10% at the skirt.
  • the intermediate portion may form part of the composite piston, which is compacted, sintered and reshaped after sintering.
  • the intermediate portion may form part of the crown portion, or of the skirt portion, which are joined together with or without subsequent reshaping of the entire piston under pressure, and with or without an intermediate surface treatment.
  • the invention includes within its scope the manufacture of a body of composite material including the steps compacting a quantity of aluminium and/or an aluminium alloy powder and sintering to form a sintered mass, and characterised in that at least 10% by weight of alumina is mixed with the aluminium and/or aluminium alloy powder prior to compacting and sintering, and in that the sintered mass is reshaped under pressure.
  • the piston illustrated therein comprises a crown portion 1, an intermediate portion 2, and a skirt portion 3.
  • the crown portion 1 consists of a mixture of aluminium powder and/or an aluminium alloy powder having a particle size of between dust and 125 microns, and between 50 and 10% by weight of alumina powder of approximately the same particle size.
  • the skirt portion 3 similarly consists of the same particle size as in the crown with only a small or zero proportion of alumina.
  • the intermediate portion as indicated by the broken lines 2 between the crown portion 1 and the skirt portion 3 is also formed of a mixture of aluminium and/or aluminium alloy powder and alumina, the proportion of the alumina being intermediate those of the crown portion and the skirt portion.
  • the intermediate portion 2 may have a higher proportion of alumina adjacent the crown portion and a lower proportion (which may be zero) of alumina adjacent the skirt portion, the proportion of alumina in such a case preferably varying in a continuous manner throughout the portion.
  • the body forming the crown portion extends down along the sides of the piston and is machined or formed with a series of grooves 4 for accommodating the compression rings.
  • crown portion, the intermediate portion, and the skirt portion, with their individual mixtures, are compacted, and sintered together, the resultant mass being shaped thereafter to its final shape under heat and pressure.
  • the proportion of alumina in the skirt may be graded, varying from a maximum, which may be comparable with that in the crown portion, adjacent the latter, to a minimum, which may be zero, furthest from the crown portion.
  • the crown portion is compacted, sintered and shaped under heat and pressure separately and this procedure is also applied to the intermediate portion and to the skirt portion. The individual portions are then bonded together and pressed under heat and high pressure to their final shape.
  • crown portion with the intermediate portion, may be bonded to the skirt portion by friction welding or in any other convenient manner
  • the material forming the crown portion 1 provides most of the mechanical hot strength of the piston, and has a lower thermal conductivity than the skirt portion, or the intermediate portion where provided.
  • the compression ring grooves 4 are formed in an annular body 5 which is fabricated separately from the crown portion 1, but which similarly comprises a mixture of aluminium alloy powder with between 10 and 50% by weight of alumina powder.
  • the powders are similarly mixed together compacted and sintered, and subsequently shaped under heat and pressure prior to being bonded to the skirt portion.
  • the crown portion 1 and the body 5 are conveniently supported in the appropriate relative positions in a suitable mould, and the skirt portion formed in situ in the mould, and simultaneously bonded to the crown portion and the body 5.
  • skirt portion itself need not be formed by powder process but may be cast from molten metal or fabricated in any other convenient manner.
  • bodies in accordance with the invention may also be used to advantage in the construction of other articles, for example solid or hollow cylinders or tapered sections, with or without ribs or flanges, casings, turbine blades and combustors.
